Story Synopsis:
TRON is a story about Flynn (Bridges), a young computer whiz who invents video games. Flynn is zapped into his computer by evil forces who answer to the Master Control Program while trying to stop huge communications conglomerate ENCOM from stealing his video game programs. There he teams up with the rebel program TRON, in a life or death video game battle, challenging the evil MCP, in a heroic attempt to save humankind and return to the real world.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 2.20:1 picture is striking in its imagery, with vivid colors and deep blacks. The look is stunning, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. The picture is solid, with no apparent noise, and just the occasional artifact.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is dated in fidelity and resolution, but the sound still delivers an aggressive surround presence that is enveloping both with music and sound effects.
